FAQ

Google Ads management, answered straight.

Still got questions? Our team replies to every enquiry inside 24 hours.

How much does Google Ads management cost?

Whitehat's Google Ads management is a monthly retainer scoped to the size and complexity of your account and ad spend — not a fixed price. There's no lock-in, and your ad spend is separate and always yours. As a Sydney-based Google Ads management company, we'll scope a fair fee and forecast the expected return in your free audit before you commit.

What do your Google Ads management services include?

Our Google Ads management services include an account audit and restructure, daily bid and budget management, ad copy and creative testing, landing pages matched to your ads, and GA4, conversion and call tracking. A senior strategist runs the account every week across Search, Shopping, Performance Max and remarketing. Our managed accounts average 14.5× ROAS.

What's the difference between Google Ads management and just running ads?

Running ads is set-up; management is the ongoing work that makes them profitable. We optimise bids, budgets, search terms, negatives, audiences and creative continuously, and tie every change to revenue. Accounts left unmanaged quietly waste spend — active management is where the ROAS comes from.

Do you manage our existing Google Ads account or start fresh?

Usually we manage and improve your existing account so you keep its history and learnings — we audit it, fix the structure and tracking, then optimise. If the account is fundamentally mis-built, we'll rebuild it. Either way, the account stays in your ownership.

Is there a minimum ad spend?

No fixed minimum, but Google Ads works best with enough budget for the algorithm to gather conversion data — for most Australian businesses that's a modest baseline of monthly ad spend. We'll tell you honestly in the audit whether paid search is the right channel for your budget and goals.

How do you report on Google Ads performance?

You get clear monthly reporting on spend, conversions, cost per acquisition and ROAS — tied to revenue, not vanity metrics — plus a live dashboard. You own the account and can see every change we make. No locked accounts and no mystery fees.

Are you a Google Premier Partner?

Yes. Whitehat Agency is a Google Premier Partner — the top 3% of Australian agencies — and has held Google Partner status since 2015. That means direct Google support, beta access and verified performance benchmarks behind your account.

Is Google AdWords management the same as Google Ads management?

Yes — same service, older name. Google retired the AdWords brand in 2018 and the platform has been Google Ads ever since, so anyone searching for Google AdWords management is looking for exactly what we run: search, Shopping, Performance Max and display, managed daily. Nothing about the work differs; only the name on the login screen changed.

What does Google Ads campaign management involve month to month?

Every week we review search terms and add negatives, adjust bids and budgets across campaigns, pause what is losing money and scale what is not, and test new ad copy against the current winner. Every month you get a report tying the spend to revenue. It is the ongoing work, not the launch, that produces our 14.5× average ROAS.

Which Google Ads management tools do you use?

The Google Ads API and Google Ads Editor for bulk work, Google Analytics 4 and Merchant Center for the revenue picture, plus our own portal, which pulls live account data into your monthly report. We reviewed the wider market in our guide to the best Google Ads management tools. Tools inform the decisions; they never make them unattended.
